A Sanctuary

Rietgat Safaris is the perfect location for hunting buffalo or plainsgame. The 6000 acre farm has abundant wild life and beautiful Camel Thorn trees and savannas.

Rietgat Safaris is situated in the Free State Province of South Africa close to the town of Bloemhof, 3.5 hours drive from Johannesburg.

Our beautiful lodge is a welcoming sanctuary not only for our hunting guests, but also for their wives. Our vision is to build an exclusive Spa on the premises in the near future, but for the time being, our guests will be transported to our Spa in town for relaxing treatments. The atmosphere of peace and tranquillity on the farm is something special – come and experience it for yourself.
